                    [Title] => Trial provided inside view of making of 'Blurred Lines'
                    [Summary] => 

"Blurred Lines" was a breezy, upbeat hit that became the biggest song of 2013.

Nearly two years later, the court case it spawned has once again changed the fortunes of its creators, Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams, who were branded as copyright infringers by a jury on Tuesday. Marvin Gaye's family was awarded nearly $7.4 million in a decision that will be on the minds of music executives and lawyers for years to come.

The trial provided an inside look at how today's music is crafted, marketed and sold — and how it can be picked apart in a federal courtroom.
